Feel free to go ahead and ignore it. I look forward to reading about how you respond to your customers a few days/weeks/months down they road when they tell you they've found a compatibility problem with an app you've sold them, and you tell them you haven't yet started testing on it because you don't get "what's so fascinating about it".

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, 'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today.' The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me."

As the woman finishes her drink the woman to her right says that she would like to buy her a drink, too. The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.'

'Coming up', says the bartender?

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, 'I would like to buy you one, too.'

The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.''

'Coming right up', the bartender says. As he gives her the drink he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old woman replies, 'Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor...Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'

Thanks to whomever it was that posted the link to this tool the other day.

I have downloaded the x64 & x86 of Professional and am currently downloading the x64 & x86 of Home. Hoping I can use this to install for customers who have sh***y internet connections. They still do exist.

Anyone know if these can be used to update an existing Windows installation and also on a fresh HDD?

If I can install on a fresh HDD, do I only need to enter a valid Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 License key, or do I need to some how get a Windows 10 key from Microsoft?

As I understand it you can use that downloaded media to do the upgrade from 7/8 to 10 in order to get your key for 10 - one of the guys at the office did it like that. Then you want a fresh install you can format and install 10 on that PC without the need for a key because somehow it has tied the install to the hardware. But it sounds like you have to do the upgrade 1st.

Not for me it didn't but you can run it (in a VM at least, I haven't tried an HDD) without a product key at all for the moment. Just skip the entry pages. Don't know when the 'you must activate' messages will start but for trial purposes, who cares?
